具体描述
Evan Thompson is professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia and a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of Waking, Dreaming, Being: Self and Consciousness in Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy, among other books.
Buddhism has become a uniquely favored religion in our modern age. A burgeoning number of books extol the scientifically proven benefits of meditation and mindfulness for everything ranging from business to romance. There are conferences, courses, and celebrities promoting the notion that Buddhism is spirituality for the rational; compatible with cutting-edge science; indeed, “a science of the mind.” In this provocative book, Evan Thompson argues that this representation of Buddhism is false.
In lucid and entertaining prose, Thompson dives deep into both Western and Buddhist philosophy to explain how the goals of science and religion are fundamentally different. Efforts to seek their unification are wrongheaded and promote mistaken ideas of both. He suggests cosmopolitanism instead, a worldview with deep roots in both Eastern and Western traditions. Smart, sympathetic, and intellectually ambitious, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Buddhism’s place in our world today.

评分##WRONG STORY COSMOPOLITANISM BUDDHIST EXCEPTIONALISM 看出问题了没?这人认为所有文化全都平等，因为佛教似乎在嘲笑他的愚痴，然后他不服，不能有任何文化超过他的“科学”，所有文化全都不能例外地作为他拿去让这个现代文化更加丰富。但凡有点品味的人跟有禅定体验的人都不会觉得这书有什么价值的。Evan Thompson，一只十足的idiot。 有那样的父母和生活环境，不搞学术研究才是不正常。70年代的美国，自由、混乱、充满实验性的市民生活和民间组织，五彩缤纷，太有趣了！所以说，人啊，还是要知命。一个人能做什么，喜欢做什么，大都是命里带来的。幸福不幸福，并不取决于信仰什么，而是能否认清和接受自己的位...
